Discussion on the Scheme of Introducing High Speed Railway into Qianhai Central Area
This paper presents a scheme for introducing a high speed railway into the Qianhai Central Area and making provision for extending it to Hong Kong in the future.The objectives of this scheme are to foster the development of the Greater Bay Area with an efficient railway network,integrate Hong Kong into the overall national development,and support the large-scale development in Qianhai.Based on the regional railway network layout and urban planning,an analysis was conducted on the necessity and feasibility of introducing a high speed railway into the Qianhai Central Area and further extending it to Hong Kong.By referring to existing similar railway stations,it is determined that Qianhai Railway Station should function as a high speed intercity railway station in the Greater Bay Area.It is recommended to locate this station at Qianhai Sports Park.The analysis focuses on the corridor and station layout for introducing a high speed railway into Qianhai Station.Furthermore,suggestions were put forward from perspectives of the hierarchical hub layout and the comprehensive development of the area,to support Qianhai to move from"the end of the city"to"the center of the Greater Bay Area"and become a new engine for the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Shenzhen Pilot Demonstration Zone.
